I was driving around checking out my stands thinking about doing some tree trimming and which ones I wanted to move. Then I realized how hot it was and my beer was getting warm so I gave up on the work and just tended to my beer.

We ended up having 5 tree stands and four sets of climbing sticks stolen this spring. Not counting the two sets a buddy had stolen over on the other end of the farm. More than likely a inside job. My buddy has a few dirt bag relatives who where banished years ago. One ws ticketed last year heavly by the DNR for tresspassing. Probably a payback. Im lag bolting all my sticks onto the trees and putting a heavy duty cable and chain on the stands. And I wont be lazy and will take them down when gun season comes. In teh really exposed area were going back to wooden ladder stnads built out of 16' 4x4's and 2x6's. Go ahead and take those jackass.

After have a couple tree stands takin I built a couple ladder stands out of 1x1 steel tube......if there man enough to carry em out of the woods then they earned them.

Ive had good luck with wood ladder stands. I got about ten years out of them. They still looked good but as I got older, I got bigger and just didn't trust them anymore. I don't bounce as well as I use to.

Yeah we got lazy in our older age. We used to go out in early December and pull all of our stands. The last couple years we have just left them all up. Easier to replace a few rachet straps in the summer than take them all down. When you have 20 stands up its alot of work taking them all down and putting them all back up. So in the high traffic areas we are going back to wood. I think Im gonna lag bolt my climbing sticks to the trees with 12 inch bolts to .
